I PYROXYLIN-COATED FABRIC.

No Drawing.

go all whom it may concern:

Be it known that GILBERT C. BACON, c1t1- zen of the United States,residing at Stamford, in the c0unty .of Fairfield and State ofConnecticut, has invented certain new and useful Improvements inPyroxylin- Coated Fabrics, of which the following ISS a specification.

This invention relates to the process of coating a decorative fabricwith a thin pyroxylin solution. It relates more particularly to thattype of coated, or. decorative fabrics described in United States PatentNo. 1,450,367. Coated fabrics of this type are formed by using a figuredfabric, as crtonne, for example, though any suitable fabric may beemployed, and applying a thin coating of pyroxylin, which, after drying,may be embossed or otherwise finished. In the manufacture of material ofthe character mentioned, the desire is to produce an article that willbe unaffected by' light, will retain its original color, and willproduce no harmful effect upon the-pyroxylin coating. I have discoveredthat by using a dye or dyes, of that class of dyes, known asinda'nthrene series, in the preparation of the fabric to be coated witha thin pyroxylin solution, it will not be affected by light, or fade ordiscolor or otherwise injuriously affect the pyroxylin coating as is thecase with some of the commonly used dyes.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as newand desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A figured fabric which has been printed or dyed with that class ofdyes known as I the indanthrene series, having a thin coating ofpyroxylinmaterial.

2. A figured fabric which-has been printed or dyed with that classofdyes known as the indanthrene series, having a thin coat- Applicationfiled January 3, 1925. Serial No. 449.

ing of transparent pyroxylin, the surface of which, is embossed with afine pebble grain.

3. A fabric which has been printed or dyed with that class of dyes knownas the indanthrene series, having a design imprinted thereon, and havinga coating of a thin, transparent pyroxylin composition.

4. A fabric which has been printed or dyed with that class of dyes knownas the indanthrene series, having a design imprinted thereon, and havinga coating of a thin,

transparent pyroxylin composition, the surindanthrene series, having adesign printed thereon, and a thin coating of transparent orsemi-transparent. pyroxylin, the surface of which is embossed with. adesign corre' sponding to .,the figures printed on the fabric. g g

7. A fabric which has been printed or dyed with that class of dyes knownas the ind-anthrene series, having a design imprinted thereon, andhaving a thin coating of a transparent pyroxylin composition, thesurface of which is embossed with a fine pebblegrain.

In testimony whereof he afiiaes his signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
